2005 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Limited[edit | edit source]
You like the Boulevard C50 but would rather choose a bike which stands form the crowd? You can still enjoy your Suzuki cruiser AND turn heads, as the 2005 MY Boulevard C50 Limited is there for you. You get a luxurious red livery which is not an usual treat for this Boulevard, but the two-tone flame design is topping everything, from the front fender to the tank and the rear mudguard. Since the fenders are deeply valanced there is plenty real estate for showing off the paint.
You get all the fun you're buying with a standard Boulevard C50, including aggressive slash-cut exhausts, plenty of chrome, studded seats and a huge headlight to go with the rest.
2008 Suzuki Boulevard C50 Limited[edit | edit source]
As much as you like the 2008 MY Boulevard C50 Limited, Suzuki decided to deliver this special model only in the US market. The lucky chaps who clawed it got their hands on a bike with a sizzling hot paint scheme, in pearl silver and with gradient flames, a combination which is as rare as it is a head-turner.
The Boulevard C50 Limited only brings shiny metal studs for the seats as a bling factor, and retains the stock lines, chrome trims and overall attire. You also get aluminum cast wheels, a Boulevard logo embossed in the seat. The engine and other tech specs are the same with the base version of the C50.
